Mongrels 2 Out On DVD At Last!

Monday 8th October sees the long-awaited, almost-cancelled release of Mongrelssecond (and sadly final) series on dvd.

Series Two of Adam Miller‘s foul-mouthed puppet show again featured Tony Way as Gary, the owner of a South London pub that just so happens to be surrounded by vermin – from meek metrosexual fox Nelson (Rufus Jones), and his best friend, simpleton feline Marion (Dan Tetsell), to psychopathic champion vulpine swearer Vince (Paul Kaye), and deranged, scheming pigeon Kali (Katy Brand). With Gary’s pedigree chav dog Destiny (Lucy Montgomery) completing the line up, the show was an instant cult smash, and is sorely missed following its baffling cancellation in January.

The second series saw the gang fend off an invasion of horny zombie dogs, rehabilitate a showbiz chimp and go to a really shit house party, whilst Marion became a parent and Destiny dabbled in the world of showbiz doggery. Amongst the celebrity cameos this year were Richard O’Brien, Russell Tovey, Ainsley Harriot, Zoe Ball and Nina Wadia, whilst the TVO Links were extended with appearances from Rich Fulcher, Steven Burge and Waen Shepherd.

That’s not to say a blu-ray release is still impossible. We asked BBC Worldwide, who are handling the release, about the lack of a hi-def edition, who replied: “We have no immediate plans to clear and release this title on Blu-ray. However, each quarter we review public enquiries and often revisit titles which are frequently requested.”

So there you have it – if you want to see a blu-ray edition of Mongrels Series 2, email BBC Worldwide’s DVD Enquiry team at dvdenquiryline@bbc.com and let them know your desires. It might just happen!

Destiny’s storylines in series 2 involved no showbiz what so ever, they were wasted and pointless which is a shame cuz she’s the best character on the show, series 2 was weak…, and i’m incredibly annoyed theres no special features…………

I’ve been waiting forever to see this on blu-ray! I own series one in this format and it just seems silly for the BBC not to put this one out the same way. I’ve also emailed them over this and with luck the’ll listen.
